Natural Ways to Support Bile Duct Health in Cholangitis

I lost a link while researching for a cure for my genetic cholangitis disease which stated the calamus bolotny herb can heal biliary diseases. Nothing on pubmed or duck duck go. I would be grateful to hear of any researched cure as I want to avoid any more biopsies. Thank you. I have been treating it with supplements but have hit a crisis after 1 year of being stable on them

in addition to TUDCA I would also recommend Lactoferrin & Schisandra. Possibly even Resveratrol & Luteolin supplement. Stay away from fats, which trigger gallbladder contractions as it needs to rest/heal, you can gradually reintroduce fats later down the road. Eat Cruciferous Veggies, salad, microgreens such as dandelion (no vegetable oils except Olive oil, Avocado oil are possibly okay) Lean meat and thoroughly cooked seafood. Avoid sugars and processed foods. Another website said to also avoid butter and high fat dairy.

​Dear Sherri,

I tried replying twice to thank you and hope you got the messages. I am seriously following your advice. Thank you soooo much

Dear Art,

Thank you sooo much for your advice. I used to take magnesium citrate and then got scared as I'm not absorbing the supplements I already take plus nutrient dense diet. Now I take magnesium chelate and my last lab test showed within normal limits.

What dose of melatonin do you suggest and brand as I am so numb considering some say to take 3mg some 5 mg or higher. Thankfully, I sleep very well at night as compared to when I worked shift work in intensive care cardiology.

How I wish I heard of earthclinic.com 3 years ago! It's been maddening how "experts" in the best hospital in UK just left me to deteriorate. I'm not bitter, God had a plan for me and part of it has been your advice and the wonderful wise supportive community at earthclinic.

Kindest regards

PBC

I am a 61-year-old woman recently diagnosed with Primary biliary cholangitis with overlapping Hep A and vanishing bile ducts. I don't want to treat with conventional medicine as they are going to give me a high dose of steroids along with other medication I would like some information.,

Thank you so much Art. Apologies for not replying sooner. I am not as skilled as you researching as I have looked at pub med and never saw this.

I started TUDCA today ( URSO made me so weak and with a BMI of 17.3, I am needing help. I have the ABCB11 genetic biliary disease which established consultants told me if the GGT and ALP remain over 430, they want to rake out my gall bladder (has a 3 mm polyp) and do another liver biopsy which I don't want. I still juice and doing a gentle parasite, liver and kidney cleanse. If you could sacrifice the time on studies to maintain my LFT'S having the homozygous ABCB11 gene. God bless you as I have had no support these last 3 years.

Supplement advice for chromatic genetic cholangitis with cholestasis

Any experienced guidance appreciated or if someone can direct me to an experienced naturopath with biliary conditions. Was diagnosed 3 yrs ago, stabilised with silymarin and many other supplements and eat organic clean wholefoods nutrient dense diet. Hepatology consultants at KCH just wait for me to deteriorate more. No cure plus I have a 5 mm neoplasm in my pancreas and a 3 mm gall bladder polyp. Gerson therapy for 7 months failed also chlorine dioxide for 7 weeks failed ( both quadrupled my LFT'S. I wonder if I have old parasites as I worked for 6 yrs 20 yrs ago as a voluntary nurse practitioner in West Africa living in the slums and had a history of chronic malaria for 4 yrs (having had a blocked bile duct) Tried TUDCA once but stopped and do castor oil packs hopefully to keep bile flow moving. Thank you for considering my plea for help as I have wasted money on some holistic practitioners who meant well but just guess.
